CHICAGO, Jan. 6.-The wheat market ex-
hibited slight return OF strength earl' II,
the day, but gradually became heaVy to"aru
the close, and finished A0$sc under yester-
day. The cables came in strong anu nl9uer'
but did not have their usual 1uhuence upou
the course of prices. The reason assigned
was the light export movement, when to-oay
was quite small considering what operators
had expected from the recent rumoreo iais
export purchases. The bears were lh-
clined TO hammer the market as the fecelpts
continue fairly large. May delivery began
at S63sc, rose to S65gc then fell back slowly
to S515c, and closed for the day
at S534c. Corn was fairly active ana
generally easier during the lnlnole
session. the opening was shade better at
4215c for May, and was followed by al ad-
vance to 4256c. The speculative offerings,
however, were free. and became very larSe
as the session advanced, causing a drop 10
42c with subsequent rally to 421s@4274c Ut
the close. Receipts continue tree Snu me
estimated arrivals for tomorrow sui
larger. Oats were very dull and slow, prices
ranging sc lower than yesterday at the close.
There was a stronger feeling IN PROVISIONS
with an active trade. The receipts OF I'VE
hogs were not so large as expected, ana the
cold weather is expected to curfail receipts.
May pork opened at S12.4T%. and advanced
quickly TO S12.75, then fell off and closed Tor
the day at l2.611a. Lard was 212@5c higher,
and short ribs 1U@121ac higher.
